Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

The wheel just assigned you one of the Worldwide Box Office Winners from the past 35 years. (No 2024 because we don't know that winner, yet.)

I don't think we talk enough about how funny this whole scene is

I've added a "vibes" column to my romance novel spreadsheet as another way to narrow down books that otherwise have similar tags (for example, the spreadsheet currently has five books (one of which I might remove because I DNF'd it for being unexpectedly a Christian romance) with the tags "She's the target," "Bodyguard," and "Forced proximity/living together", but they are definitely not all similar books).

And these vibes are probably the most subjective thing in the spreadsheet, so I want to try to be careful not to have them just be my opinions on the books. But I am so tempted to add a vibe that's just "The straights are not okay."

If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!

One thing I love abt Abbott is that it has a very Christian woman and an openly gay man and homophobia is never an issue. The only reason the Christian woman doesn’t like him that much is because he’s insanely corny

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
